Incorrect. Computer misuse within the US, regardless of where the individuals who are doing the misusing are located, is under US jurisdiction. This is long-established. Laws dealing with multi-jurisdictional issues (such as patents/copyrights, illicit interstate commerce, sex tourism, computer misuse) are old-hat.

Attacking US servers located in US territory is an attack carried out within the US, regardless of where the keyboard warrior is.

Now, if the servers attacked are in Ireland, then they're also covered by EU jurisdiction (no matter what the US likes to think).

The law is the law, and nobody, in any nation, is immune. A fact a lot of nations like to pretend they're somehow immune to. They aren't and there will always be a price to pay for such cavalier attitudes.

But its those humans that are going to purchase your product. Henry Ford had this figured out. Pay workers more. Now they can afford your cars. You produce more and increase your profits. Win, win situation.

If a place is cheap to live, then your life is just as cheap to those running it.

In the end, there's a certain minimum cost for running things effectively and if the taxes don't reflect that, then as far as the corporations and politicians are concerned, nobody there matters.

Even amonst the rich clients, the malpractice incidence rate in the US is between 2-3 times that of the rest of the civilised world.

Worse, doctors struck off in one State for malpractice can simply move to another and get a fresh license. It happens.

The system is really bad.

These are different issues. Dunning Kruger was about estimation of competence not whether or not one actually knows whether they know the answer to specific questions. LLMs have no meta-cognition.

Even in terms of general competence reality does not match the Dunning Kruger Internet meme.

"Our results supported the third hypotheses by confirming that (a) peoples' self-assessed competence generally accords with their demonstrated proficiency and (b) peoples' frequencies of self-assessed underestimation of their competence are similar to their frequencies of overestimation."

Oh look, you cite FBI data showing that blacks (15% of the population) commit 47.3% of homicides. And that whites (57% of the population) commit 47.8% of homicides.

Why are you posting data that is clearly racist towards minorities in the U.S.? Is it because your racism prevented you from crunching the numbers?

The Business Reform channel on YT reviewed a couple of ultrasonic jammers that kill the audio on these recordings.

$400 for the better one but if you need it maybe that's cheap.

I didn't know about the technology so I was surprised.

The guy who runs the channel would fit in with the dominant privacy culture on this site.

Good points.

nVidia is talking about paying homeowners to install a 10 GPU unit in their backyard along these lines, going highly-distributed.

The trick with the "data center jobs" is the estimate that 70% of them will be new H1B workers so even those claims to the locals whose politicians already waived taxes is that they're looking at maybe a few dozen local jobs for a huge data center.

It's worth watching the Tucker/O'Leary interview to see the mindset of these people. "Corruption and screwing the locals is how business in America is done, Tucker!"

Slightly paraphrased.

Typically a preservation letter is sent out to let the recipient know that a court order will be forthcoming, and to preserve all files, metadata, images, etc. If you Google "sample preservation letter" one such example is https://www.cliffordlaw.com/wp....

If the SFPD got this case in January, all they had to do is have some admin send some such letter to Waymo (and any nearby businesses with surveillance cameras) and then in March when they got their fat donut-eating asses on the case the evidence would be there. But they didn't bother.

That's police work in the US these days. They can't be bothered to do police work. Someone has to walk in and hand them a ribbon-wrapped case for them to be bothered to look at it. "Solving a case" isn't like on TV. On TV they have an hour to investigate, collate, deduce, confront, and arrest. In real life that's 3 months of donuts and sitting around watching your ass get all triangle-like, THEN blame Waymo.

Disgusting. I'm sure the Yoga studio is overjoyed.

String Theory has contributed some useful mathematics but its position as the Only Game In Town (they call it that) appears to have been a psyop to keep Academia out of the work being done at private contractors.

Retired people from e.g. Skunkworks have described corrections and extensions of Maxwell's Equations and the Dirac Equation as the path that has yielded experimental success.

Those guys didn't "shut up and calculate". Their work is under NDA, WUSAP, ITAR, and Invention Secrecy Act restrictions.

Some parallel work, e.g. Exodus Technologies, has started to bear fruit in the public domain, so the psyop is being wound down now. Additionally China has surpassed the US in implementation so they want All Hands On Deck.

What was strategic advantage has become a strategic liability. One can understand this mindset by not caring about the hundreds of millions of lives that could have been saved by resultant technologies. When only State Supremacy (and COG) are factored in the normal human behavior goes out the window.

The impossible need to power AI for a communist surveillance police state may also be playing a factor; hard to know prospectively but somebody has the power source being demonstrated on the slow drip of DoD "UFO" videos.

Most people won't put Space Aliens on the top of the list of culprits when ATS projects by humans will suffice.

The biggest hurdle will be getting Deans and Department Chairs to discard their life's work as meaningless. What a "Good Scientist" should do and what most people will do are not the same. Hence the "funeral to funeral" adage.

It's the Conservatives who label the 50-60's America's golden age. You're right that no one paid the 90% top end. Instead they paid their workers better, put money back into their business and such which led to a fairly robust spread of wealth and the average person doing OK financially.

Why do you think that socialism has to involve the government, besides things like enforcing contracts.
From the American Heritage dictionary,

noun
        Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

My Credit Union is owned collectively, same with various Co-ops I deal with, though I'm not a member of most of them.
Wiki has much more on it, starting with,

Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems[1] characterised by social ownership of the means of production,[2] as opposed to private ownership.[3][4][5] It describes the economic, political, and social theories and movements associated with the implementation of such systems.[6] Social ownership can take various forms, including public, community, collective, cooperative,[7][8][9] or employee.[10][11] As one of the main ideologies on the political spectrum, socialism is the standard left-wing ideology in most countries.[12] Types of socialism vary based on the role of markets and planning in resource allocation, and the structure of management in organizations.[13][14]

Socialist systems are divided into non-market and market forms.[15][16] A non-market socialist system seeks to eliminate the perceived inefficiencies, irrationalities, unpredictability, and crises that socialists traditionally associate with capital accumulation and the profit system.[17] Market socialism retains the use of monetary prices, factor markets and sometimes the profit motive.

Personally, I like the market forms, which are hopefully more resistant to authoritarianism.

Maybe I should make this simpler for the hard of thinking.

Smoking impacts your chances of getting lung cancer. It is not a 100% guarantee, but it's pretty damn high. It is called an impact by anyone with anything close to an intellect that actually functions.

Having a vaccine impacts your chances of getting a disease. It's not a magic forcefield. It increases the payload needed to overwhelm the initial immune response, and it increases the severity of the infection needed to be anything more than a brief annoyance, but it isn't Harry Potter. And some would probably whinge about magic fields if it were. In many cases, the impact is a 90-95% level of protection, but we call it an impact.

God, the level of brain-dead morons here is so depressing.

If X alters Y, then yes X impacts Y. That's, like, basic terminology.

I do not specify magnitudes anywhere. If you saw them, please see your local pdoc as you're hallucinating.

Do you have problems with English?
